Caregiving can mean showing up for someone else while finding support for yourself, too.

This National Family Caregivers Month, we’re introducing Ashley and Justin, who are supporting a loved one living with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Their experience has taught them the value of being a steady source of support, and of reaching out when caregiving feels overwhelming.

At Vertex, we’re hoping to help change the future of kidney disease, driven by science and inspired by IgAN caregivers like Ashley and Justin.

🚲 Iowa is rolling up the rankings!

Iowa climbed nine spots on the League of American Bicyclists’ 2026 Iowa report card, moving from 24th to 15th nationally and ranking 4th out of 13 states in the Midwest.

The League highlighted Iowa DOT’s new statewide bicycle and pedestrian plan and investments in biking and walking. At the Capitol, the Iowa Bicycle Coalition worked alongside partners and advocates to help pass Iowa’s hands-free driving law, an important step toward reducing distracted driving and making our roads safer for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who called a lawmaker, shared a story or spoke up for safer roads. The report card points to another step Iowa can take by setting a minimum safe passing distance so drivers give people on bikes more room.

Together, we’re making Iowa the best place to ride a bike.

Would you be prepared if you became stranded on an Iowa roadway this winter?

Before the snow starts flying, make sure your vehicle has a few essentials:

🚗 Warm blankets and extra clothing
🚗 Flashlight and extra batteries
🚗 Water and nonperishable snacks
🚗 Jumper cables and a phone charger
🚗 Ice scraper and small shovel

Even a short trip can turn into an unexpected delay when winter weather moves in.
